Odyssey of a Woman

It doesn’t make it go away

We don’t make acne disappear by hiding the condition behind a thick layer of make up or wearing a mask or costume as though it’s Halloween all year round, but by treating the fluctuating hormones, bacteria on the skin and fatty acids within oil glands.

In the same way, we don’t overcome depression by denial (oh yeah, let’s party!), repression (oh yeah, let’s party!), compensation, or any other defense mechanism. We must go deep to the root of the problem and work from there.

I guess it’s similar to trying to save the Titanic; we couldn’t have saved it by steering away from the iceberg judging its size according to the tip.

Thank you, Grace 😊 I believe I had a breakthrough earlier. After a bit of a shake up, I should have something good (I hope) to share. 😊 I may have understood me more and how I handled what I went through.. processing 😄 I appreciate your comment, thank you 💖😊

A bit about me

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African.
A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.
